Everyone was speechless as they looked at Kazuma, who addressed her as "Lady Rika" with even greater reverence than they had for the priestess.

It seems true.

So everyone turned their attention back to the witch.

"In that case, we will go and negotiate with the clinic again. I have already sent people to block the road down the mountain, so they have no chance of escaping!"

These two will be dealt with by our Sonozaki family first; I will personally interrogate them.

By the way, for everyone's safety, please bring your usual work tools, pitchforks, sickles, shovels, etc., for this negotiation.

Sonozaki Mion glanced at Kazuma and coldly issued her decision.

Several people immediately restrained Kazuma and Kirito and dragged them towards the Sonozaki residence.

However, Kazuma, who was being dragged away, didn't care.

At this point, the plan is complete. The only problem is that it seems they can't verify the results yet; they can only rely on Kerry's side.

Chapter 140 Let's Assemble! The Mob Friends!

Kazuma and Kirito could have easily rebelled against these villagers, but it wasn't necessary.

These villagers are now a knife in their hands.

If they resist, they can't stab the people at the clinic.

Therefore, Kazuma and Kirito chose to be taken away.

They walked through a traditional Japanese garden. The old lady, the head of the Sonozaki family, who was in a wheelchair, seemed to be in poor health and unable to participate in the activities outside, so she went back first. Instead, the green-haired girl Sonozaki Mion, whom they had met before, took over the supervision.

It seemed that this entire mountainous area belonged to the Sonozaki family. The two were eventually caught in front of a cave, though it was called a cave, there was an iron gate outside.

Kazuma and Kirito, who originally had no intention of resisting, changed their expressions once they entered.

Descending the dimly lit staircase and passing through the corridor, you arrive at an underground facility.

This is Sonozaki Basement, one of the six must-see attractions in Hinamizawa, on par with Hinamizawa Bridge.

This basement is quite unique.

Those who know this are aware that it is the basement of the Sonozaki family's residence, but those who don't might mistake it for the Irithyll Underground Prison, specifically the Hinami-Kazezawa branch.

The first thing you see when you pass through a wooden door is a raised tatami mat and two rows of cushions.

If you only look at this place, you might think it's an old people's tea room, but directly opposite the futon is a tilted cross, which is covered with shackles and other tools for fixing people's limbs. The surrounding area is also filled with all kinds of large traditional intangible cultural heritage props.

Iron Maiden, a knife used for disembowelment, nails and hammers used to pierce fingers or egg-shaped hot dogs, a special light bulb used to insert into a woman's body and then smash it, and a hanging hook used to suspend a person's intestines so that the tortured person could see them.

Just as humans are the ones who kill the most humans, they are also the ones who know best how to cause suffering to humans. In this world with countless planets and countless unsolved mysteries, humans always find ways to oppress and torment each other in their own little corner of the world.

This place doesn't look any better than the hell described in some myths and legends.

The purpose of that place filled with prayer cushions is also quite obvious.

That area is the "spectator seating area".

Although he already knew that the village was practicing the feudal patriarchal system, Kazuma never expected it to be this outrageous.

But this is not the end for the two. After walking a little further in, they enter a spacious underground space.

The area was surrounded by two layers of low cages, an astonishing number of them.

With a dark expression, Sonozaki Mion walked over to the two people being held by the villagers, pointed in front and then behind.

"I deliberately didn't blindfold you, just so you could see."

There are no surveillance cameras here, and no one knows you've come here. Behind you is the bottomless Hinamizawa mine.

If you die, your bodies will go inside, and no one will know.

Now tell me, you bunch of bastards using fake names, what do you know? What did you do to Rika?!

Sonozaki Mion, who was groomed to be the next head of the family since childhood, has superb conversation skills. She starts by asking what happened to Rika, so that if it really involves them, they might reveal their weaknesses.

"Won't anyone find out here? Aren't you afraid of the law?"

Kazuma's voice trembled slightly as he asked.

"Hehe! Of course! Even most of the villagers don't know about this place, so if something happens here, no one will know. If there's anything you haven't explained, that's best..."

"That's great."

Kazuma sighed to Kirito.

"what?!"

Sonozaki Mion stared blankly at Kazuma, who was saying "That's great!", and Kirito, who was nodding.

Their joints were all broken by two villagers...

The next moment, Kazuma and Kirito shook their bodies and flung their arms.

The villagers had no idea that the two men were stronger than bulls and broke free in an instant.

Neither of them brought their instrument cases because they were pretending to be attacked.

Kazuma carried a small dagger with him, while Kirito carried a vajra that a certain Buddhist nun had donated free of charge last time.

Sonozaki Mion herself is a master of physical combat, and upon seeing this situation, she immediately pulled out a stun gun from her waist and stepped forward.

Then she felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and before she could even see what happened, several strong and healthy villagers were knocked to the ground by the two men.

"Alright, since no one's here, Ms. Sonozaki, we can ask you about this village and this place."

"Varied……"

……

The villagers, unaware that the Sonozaki family's property had been robbed, set off in a grand procession after receiving the Sonozaki family's approval.

Because of their extreme unity, almost every household sent someone, and around 300 villagers arrived at the clinic in a large procession before dinner.

They held various joyful farming tools in their hands.

The little knight's favorite scythe, the witcher's favorite pitchfork, the guard's favorite shovel, and this essential element, the wandering spirit's favorite torch.

Neither the clinic researchers with ulterior motives nor the villagers chose to call the police.

In this desolate place, public power seems to have become a piece of waste paper. The villagers believe that their unity is the best protection for them. Even if they do something extreme, they will unite to fabricate evidence and suppress the news, just like those disappearance cases a few years ago.

Everyone assumed it was the Sonozaki family who did it, so they all mobilized to erase the buzz and news to prevent Hinamizawa from being discriminated against or investigated.

They chanted the same slogans they had used when opposing the dam's construction, blocking the area around the clinic and occasionally throwing eggs or rather expensive fruits at it.

People kept coming up and hitting the clinic walls with soft-handled hammers.

"Defend Ghost Abyss to the death! An eye for an eye!"

"Defend Ghost Abyss to the death! An eye for an eye!"

They wanted to show these pathetic remnants of the foreign bourgeoisie the power of their old feudal system.

The village chief stood with his hands behind his back in front of everyone, looking as if he was ready to demolish the small clinic at any moment.

Meanwhile, at the clinic, Takano, who had been recording everything upstairs with his camera, handed the camera to Kokoro with satisfaction.

That's fine.

"And while you're at it, let's drive these people away too; they're an eyesore."

Takano waved his hand.

"OK! Don't forget my share afterwards."

Xiao Cimu grinned menacingly.

"To be honest, I've always disliked these villagers too."

Soon, amidst the excited crowd, the clinic doors opened.

The villagers in front all stepped back behind Village Chief Kimiyu. The Kimiyu family was one of the three great families, and they had served as village chiefs for generations. Together with the Sonozaki family, who were merchants, and the Furude family, who were priests, they governed the village.

The village chief raised his squinty eyes, wanting to see if these people still had the same arrogance they had shown him during the day.

then……

Then the villagers, carrying pitchforks and torches, saw a row of people carrying M16 assault rifles walk out of the small house.

Chapter 141 The Final Operation Begins.

Looking at those fully automatic weapons, the originally enthusiastic villagers suddenly felt dizzy and their hands and feet turned cold from anger in the sweltering heat.

What's wrong with this society? When will our villagers be able to stand up for themselves?

How did several men carrying guns suddenly appear in the small clinic where the villagers go for medical treatment every day?

The village chief's Adam's apple bobbed.

"You! What are you trying to do?!"

"Isn't this the question we're asking you? What are you all doing gathered downstairs in front of our clinic?"

On the second floor, Takano Sanji moved his chair to the window with his feet up, looking at the villagers with disdain.

"Don't be afraid, village chief, they won't dare to fire! There are so many of us..."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses stepped forward and spoke to the village chief.

"clatter!"

Before the village chief could reply, Takano Sanji upstairs picked up a pistol and fired downstairs.

"Hoo~!"

After firing the gun, he playfully blew on the muzzle.

Then the village chief's squinting eyes widened, and a bullet crater appeared at the feet of the villager next to him who had said the other side wouldn't dare to fire.

"Help!"
